As a new owner of a slightly used 2000 Boxster I forgot to turn off the running lights last night. Woke to a dead battery and locked front trunk. ARRRGH!! Thanks to the great posts on how to open the front trunk. I used the suggestion of applying 12 volts to C3 in the fuse panel. When the mechanism still did not work I tried to unlock the system by using the remote key lock. Still no luck!!Then I thought maybe I need to close both doors and then unlock with the remote. This worked like a champ.....I did not try sticking the key in the lock to unlock... Don't forget your radio code.
